Avays of the fathers they ' exercised

have followed show that they exer-

Having ; a very lively recollec
tion of how the negro - element
was manipulated by the white leaders
they determined to have a change.
Tiie wide-spread wasted the pecula

officials, the fr.-tmls, rascalities and
nlunderinscs were all remembered,
and it4 was high time for a change..
Tiuii neirro was unfit to rule. The

Why, in New Hanover county the'
finances got in, such a condition of
confusion that it was found abso

elect two' Democrats" of, known finan

into which theblundering stupidity of

wald, who were summoned to examine the
remains of the late Mrs. Bertha Solomon, ;
report that every indication went to shoW :
that the unfortunate lady came to her death
from drowning, and from no other cause;
and in this opinion there was perfect ac
cord between them. We make this state-;
ment in justice to all concerned, and , for
the reason that we could not see the physi
cian on Friday evening after the inquest
was concluded. '
Ransom In Onslow. i :

audience; and without any exaggeration I.
must say. he created a very, prof ound. irri-
prcssion.. It , was the-, first time . that . the;
great majority -of the people of Onslow had
ever heard him.and all went off thoroughly
satisfied.- ; Even . the colofei people who
heard him were well pleased, and sdme of.
them pronounced his speech something dif-r

His majority will be larger than Jarvis',
and the prospects are that our whole ticket
